I've been taking cetcipl tabs for my skin allergies, but I've missed it three times. They said it needs to be taken continuously for 30 days. What should I do now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Since you have missed a few doses, try to continue taking the medication as prescribed for the remaining days. Take one tablet of cetcip-l (cetirizine) daily for the next 27 days to complete the 30-day course. Remember to take it at the same time each day for best results.

View allI've noticed a new white patch on my neck below the chin, and it's quite visible after I shave. I've always had some skin discoloration on my chest and neck since birth, but this patch is new. I saw a doctor who gave me a cleanser and gel to use, and they also prescribed a single dose of Dicaris 150 mg. I'm a bit concerned about what this medication is for and how serious my skin issue might be. Could you help me understand?
Dicaris (Ivermectin) is an antiparasitic medication. _Possible Reasons for Dicaris Prescription_ 1. _Scabies or mites_: Ivermectin is commonly used to treat scabies, mites, or other parasitic infections that can cause skin discoloration. 2. _Fungal or bacterial infections_: Although less common, ivermectin may be prescribed off-label for certain fungal or bacterial infections. _Possible Causes of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Pityriasis versicolor_: A fungal infection that causes skin discoloration. 2. _Vitiligo_: An autoimmune condition that causes white patches on the skin. 3. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: Skin darkening or discoloration after inflammation or injury. _Seriousness of Skin Discoloration_ 1. _Most cases are benign_: Skin discoloration is often not a cause for concern. 2. _Monitor for changes_: Keep an eye on the patch for any changes in size, shape, color, or texture.

I'm using Acnestar soap all over my body, and now my skin's feeling really dry and flaky. Do you think I should stop using it?
yes you have to stop using the soap and ask your doctor to advise alternate soap or add moisturizer for your treatment.

I'm noticing a bunch of moles popping up on my face and neck, and I'm also dealing with acne. I've been using Acnelak soap twice a day to wash my face. Do you have any tips or methods for cleaning that might help me get clearer skin?
To address moles, acne, and achieve clear skin: *Cleaning Method* 1. *Gentle cleanser*: Replace Acnelak soap with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil or Neutrogena). 2. *Warm water*: Cleanse your face with warm water instead of hot water. 3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. *Additional Tips* 1. *Exfoliate*: Exfoliate once or twice a week using a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 2. *Toner*: Use a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove any remaining impurities. 3. *Moisturize*: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. 4. *Sunscreen*: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. 5. *Avoid picking*: Refrain from picking or squeezing acne or moles, as this can lead to scarring and infection. *Professional Advice* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess your skin and provide personalized advice. 2. *Mole evaluation*: Have your moles evaluated by a dermatologist to determine if they are benign or require further attention.
